Since her mother’s death, Caragh Sudley has devoted herself
to managing her father’s estate and caring for her
beautiful, tempestuous younger sister Ailis. Her chief joy
is spending time with her handsome neighbor Quentin Burke,
Lord Branson—who, alas, sees her only as a good friend.
When Caragh takes Ailis to London for the Season, Quentin
offers to help by escorting them about, since it’s time he
looked for a wife himself. But then Ailis creates a scandal
that ends her Season, freeing Caragh to ponder what she
really wants: a conventional marriage with a conventional
husband, or running the horse farm she’s always dreamed of—
and seducing her good friend Quentin Burke...
Joanne Rock - THE WEDDING KNIGHT
Melissande Deverell knows convent life is the most
liberating path for any free-spirited woman. No
vainglorious tales of men's battle prowess at meal times,
no filthy warrior's bed to share, and the best education
available to women. Abandoned to a remote Alpine nunnery
since the age of eight, Melissande finds fulfillment
supervising the convent's orphans and translating
manuscripts.
Life is perfect until a wayward knight steals her away from
all she holds dear.
Lucian Barret never expected to be even mildly attracted to
a convent bound novitiate. Then again nothing about
vivacious Melissande is what he expected. Honor-bound to
deliver her safely into the arms of another, Lucian's dark
past leaves no room for attraction to a headstrong would-be
nun. Now he has no choice but to protect her on the journey
to England, a constant temptation within arm's reach. Even
if he manages to keep her honor-- and his heart-- intact,
he begins to wonder if he will ever be able to give her up.
